Insurance Disputes Laws in Vermont.
Vermont insurance is regulated by the Department of Financial Regulation under 8 V.S.A. Vermont does not recognize a broad common-law bad-faith tort as a matter of first-party coverage; bad-faith-style claims generally proceed under the Vermont Consumer Protection Act (9 V.S.A. ch. 63) or specific statutory causes of action. Vermont follows a traditional fault (tort) auto-insurance system — it is not a no-fault state.
